Joseph Howard (cricketer)

Joseph Howard (12 January 1871 – 25 January 1951) was an English cricketer, who played five first-class games for Worcestershire at the turn of the twentieth century.

He made his debut against Yorkshire in May 1900, opening the batting in both innings but making only 0 and 1 as Worcestershire were beaten by an innings and five runs in a very low-scoring game (Worcs 43 & 51; Yorks 99). His highest score of 28 came in his last match, against MCC in June 1901; this was also the scene of the only catch he took in his career, to dismiss John Rawlin.

Howard was born in Epsom, Surrey; he died at Evenlode House in Gloucestershire at the age of 80.
